A borough between two bigger neighbours, planning for itself
Rotherham’s practices are commissioned by NHS South Yorkshire ICB, sitting between Sheffield to the west and Doncaster to the east, with its own place arrangements inside that board.
Blood pressure and diabetes registers both run above the England average here. Between them they generate a large, recurring body of titration, annual review and recall work, spread across a borough that reaches from the town out to former mining villages and the rural east.
That work is predictable, protocol-driven and easy to plan once someone owns it. Owning it is what we do, with the supervision and cover held on our side so a week of leave does not change the schedule.
What you buy is a managed service: supervision, cover, indemnity and clinical governance are all held by us. That is the practical difference between this and recruiting for the work yourself, and it is why the workstream keeps running whoever is available in a given week.

Source: OHID Fingertips, National General Practice Profiles, using NHS England QOF data. Practices are grouped by postal town extracted from the NHSBSA Prescriber Details address register and matched by ODS practice code. Each local figure is the unweighted median of the available practice percentages; for an even number of practices, the two middle values are averaged. The England figure is the published national prevalence value. Eligible age groups, periods and sample sizes are shown for each measure. The comparison is descriptive: it is not population-wide town prevalence, and no town-level statistical significance has been established. These practices are not a list of our clients.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have pharmacists based in this area?
Our pharmacists deliver the agreed service remotely from within the UK, working in your clinical system. The service does not require a clinician to be based locally.
Do you chase patients who do not respond to recall?
Yes. We follow up recalls within the agreed protocol and escalate non-attendance, unavailable results or clinical concerns. Completion depends on patient engagement and the availability of appropriate assessment.
Can a whole network commission this together?
Yes. Protocols are agreed once and audits run once for every practice in scope.
Can this be funded through ARRS?
Often, yes. ARRS funding covers roles brought in through a service contract as well as directly employed staff. We map it with you before you commit.
Who holds indemnity and supervision?
We do, for everyone delivering the work, under our published clinical governance framework.
